TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Being a telecommuter, and someone who occasionally kisses a clients rear and
goes onsite, I can tell you from observation that most of the people who WASTE
time are wasting it with others, yackity-yackity-yackity. "Did you hear what
Bill did?" The one in the office I have been in an out of for the past 6 weeks,
was this, this week: "They took the meters down, the freeways are terrible. You
can't get anywhere, traffic is horrible...." Blah, blah, blah... I could name at
least a million times in six weeks when I asked a simple question that somehow
moved into my private life, "how old are your kids?" "did you run the marathon?"
"what was your time?" "i wouldn't have even run if I got that as my time." And
so on and so forth, ad nauseum.
The bottom line: I HATE being onsite because it wastes a lot of what I revere
TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I work at home, I choose to answer that email or not,
and if more people telecommuting there'd be less people talking about
nothingness in the hallways at work.
